Minor suggestion: make it so the player can target worn items when casting identify.

In one of the earlier betas, however, one could not target worn items. If you are having troubles, make sure you are indeed using Beta3?

Oh, I guess I didn't notice that that got added in. Nevermind then.

In the same vein of identification, do you think we could have it so that when a worn item is kept on for a long period of time, the user automatically becomes familiar with it and identifies it? It's kinda like Angband that way but not being a mage and needing to buy an identify scroll for every steel ring I pick up gets a little annoying. It really just boils down to me being lazy, but since the item needs to be worn (meaning you need to have the ability to wear it in the first place) and be worn of a long time, it really wouldn't change the challenge all that much either would it?

Then again you might just make an Identify skill that can target an inventory item and have a percent chance of success...

Well if you raise your magic skill enough ID scrolls will ID all your stuff in a go.
Upping magic is never lost BTW, it improves most of the scrolls & potions
